I don't understand where the hate comes from. It's not as if Kira was the first character to ever adopt a rule of not killing his enemies. People love Batman, and he too doesn't kill his enemies, regardless of who they are and what they've done, from common street thugs to outright murdering rapists. The popularity of the Nolan trilogy is huge, and I've yet to hear people complain that Bruce is a moron for not killing so and so and having a "stupid" rule about killing etc. Must be a thing with Gundam, the protagonists in this franchise are held to a lower standard it seems, they have to give in to revenge and be a killing machine to be likeable. It's no wonder Flit is so beloved and Kio is hated.
